We will never know how much the Lakers really enticed him in the end. What if the Clippers did not get it done with PG13.......who knows now.
I'd say: Beverley / Lou George / Shamet Kawhi / McGruder Harrell / Harkless Zubac / Delgado JaMychal Green should be our target, but he's probably back on a minimum deal to compete for starting 4 with Harrell and Harkless. Clippers definitely the better LA team, best starting 5 defense wise for sure.
Yeah, sure. Says the guy "Lakers are his best option, only option! If he wants to win long term, Lakers only!"
Harrell played 96% of his minutes at center for them last season. I think it's likely it stays that way unless he can start hitting 3's. They could start Harkless at 4 if they don't want to start Shamet, they could bring Harrell off the bench like last year as well behind Zubac (or a FA big). They still have their room (2 years 10 mill). To perhaps Jam Green, or Morris, maybe Cousins/Howard.
Whatever makes these people happy, claiming a narrative that he only went to the Clippers since they kept it quiet or whatever. Lakers media, LA people and their organisation will never be humble, quiet about their business so this was clearly not much of an issue. People will analyse this to death, but truth is: Kawhi told Clippers to get someone, he talked to PG to get to LAC, it happened and he's there. End of story. You really believe Raptors were out because of some helicopters? Come on man (not directed at you @mikol13, this is to the media, the twitter guy and whoever else will believe this).
Damn and Jalen was on ESPN's GETUP saying words like "vacillate" not knowing Kahwi was testing his sources. Jalen was ass out on live ESPN TV specials because he thought he had Kellogg's scoops.
They are going to struggle to control tempo against CP3/Beard. We just need another tough forward to muscle them.
It’s a bit weird being over here in Dish wondering how our Rockets are going to respond to all this. I have no idea. “Run it back... again,” just ain’t gonna cut it, and that’s where we are right now. Moves on the margins won’t cut it, for sure. Morey has to really move the needle. I was going to try to go to sleep, saw the news, and now I can’t stop thinking, what the hell is Morey going to do, and what will Tillman let him do? I’m not sure that Shakespeare has a nice phrase to cover this particular situation. “Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more!” No, that won’t do.
